Officers received information from the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office that Joshua Young, 24, was living with Robyn Hynes, 25, in Old Town. This was a violation of bail conditions based on a situation that happened in Waterville in September. In addition, Young was required to submit to random searches and prohibited from consuming alcohol and illegal drugs. Officers went to the residence and knocked on the door. According to reports, Young answered and claimed that Hynes was at her mother’s house. The officers asked to be admitted and reminded Young of his bail conditions. He allegedly hesitated but let them in. The officers saw Hynes on the couch once they had entered. They placed Young under arrest for violation of conditional release. A search of the apartment produced a large plastic bag of marijuana and various items of drug paraphernalia. As a result, both Young and Hynes were arrested for trafficking of schedule W drugs. The two will face felony charges because the residence is within 1,000 feet of a school. They were transported to the Penobscot County Jail.
